Rams weigh QB future with 13th pick

The Rams, with reigning MVP Matthew Stafford turning 38, must weigh drafting a quarterback with their 13th pick amid retirement questions.

The Los Angeles Rams hold the 13th pick in the NFL Draft and face an interesting dilemma at quarterback. Despite having the reigning NFL MVP in 38-year-old Matthew Stafford, the organization must consider the future beyond his current contract.

With Stafford contemplating retirement and playing at an elite level that may not last forever, the Rams could target QB prospect Ty Simpson. Simpson, who might benefit from sitting behind Stafford, could provide a seamless transition when the time comes, though the Rams don't draft again until No. 61, making finding a future franchise QB there challenging.
